If you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores to test-optional Oklahoma State, take your first test by the spring of junior year and save the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes. For score-based scholarships such as President’s Distinguished, aim to have any final retake done by the September ACT or October SAT so scores can arrive before the November 1 financial aid priority deadline.
